Theme 1: Harnessing biology for climate-resilient and healthy soils
The specific challenge of this theme is to prevent further soil degradation and enable regeneration of healthy soils as a vital natural resource by deepening our fundamental understanding of how biological factors influence and interact with physiochemical and other properties of soil.

Theme 2. Unravelling the pathways of human invasive fungal diseases
The specific challenge of this theme is to understand the mechanisms of human invasive fungal infections such as virulence factors, host-pathogen interactions and antifungal resistance, with the aim of enabling the development of better diagnostics and treatments.
